Defense One Tech Summit

Join us for the 9th Annual Defense One Tech Summit to see how the Pentagon and its partners are turning science fiction into reality. We will convene senior DoD and industry leaders to discuss advancements in battlefield and backend technologies—and how the U.S. government can better work with startups, academia, and international partners.

Don't miss this opportunity to network with your peers and learn how breakthroughs in critical emerging technologies like AI, hypersonics, quantum science, directed energy, and biotechnology—once believed decades away—are now reshaping battlefields and geopolitical realities, and how the Pentagon is determined to win the race to develop and deploy them first.
